As of the 2010 United States Census, the city's population was 11,456,〔〔〔 reflecting a decline of 28 (-0.2%) from the 11,484 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 1,165 (-9.2%) from the 12,649 counted in the 1990 Census.〔(Table 7. Population for the Counties and Municipalities in New Jersey: 1990, 2000 and 2010 ), New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, February 2011. Accessed October 4, 2012.〕 It is located directly across the Delaware River from Philadelphia and the Port of Philadelphia. Gloucester City was incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 25, 1868, from the remaining portions of Union Township, which was then dissolved. Additional territory was annexed in 1925 from Centre Township and in 1927 from Haddon Township.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 106 re Gloucester City, p. 109 re Union Township. Accessed May 30, 2012.〕 The city's name derives from Gloucester, England.〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed August 31, 2015.〕〔Gannett, Henry. (''The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States'' ), p. 138. United States Government Printing Office, 1905. Accessed August 31, 2015.〕 Gloucester City is known for its Irish American population, which was ninth-highest in the United States by percentage in the 2000 Census.〔 ==History== The name Fort Nassau was used by the Dutch in the 17th century for several fortifications, mostly trading stations, named for the House of Orange-Nassau. The one built in the 1620s〔(http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nycoloni/nswdmp.html New Sweden 1638-1655 Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania ), Rootsweb.com. Accessed August 31, 2015.〕 at today's Gloucester City was for trade, mostly in beaver pelts, with the indigenous population of Susquehannock and Lenape. The region along the Delaware River and its bay was called the Zuyd Rivier and marked the southern flank of the province of New Netherland.〔Silverman, Sharo Hernes. ("New Sweden and the New World: History Lessons from the Morton Homestead" ), from ''Pennsylvania Heritage Magazine'', Volume XXV, Number 1 - Winter 1999. Accessed October 4, 2012.〕 From 1638-1655 the area was part of New Sweden, which had been established by Peter Minuit, who had been Director of New Netherland, and was responsible for the famous purchase of the island of Manhattan. The location was disadvantageous since the richest fur-trapping area was on the west side of the river, where Swedish could intercept trade with the natives. In 1651, Peter Stuyvesant, director-general of New Netherland, dismantled the structure and relocated to a position on the other side of the river, in part to menace the Swedish, calling it Fort Casimir. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gloucester City, New Jersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
